ENFIELD TOWN
for Maidstone to play with in attack but, driven on by Stuart Lewis, they did carve out some decent chances.
The best fell to Delano SamYorke whose shot was blocked on the line from a few yards out following a corner.
United led for the first time over the two ties in the 47th minute, Pigott finding SamYorke who squared for Hines two yards out.
United were now well on top, Hines’ clever pass playing in Tom Wraight but the winger missed the target.
Having seen Pigott’s penalty saved, Enfield equalised out of nothing in the 73rd minute.
They broke quickly after Hines’ poor free-kick hit the wall and seconds later the ball was with Aaron Greene who fired low into the far corner.
The goal lifted an Enfield side who had started to look tired. Blackman and substitute Montell Moore fired over after balls dropped in the box, then big Simon Thomas held off his man, turned smartly and forced a good save from Lee Worgan.
Stones were back in front in the 102nd minute, Hines’ corner flicked on and Finney stabbing home at the far post.
And the tie was in the bag in the 108th minute when substitute Jai Reason finished smartly.
Sam-Yorke thumped an effort against the bar as United threatened a fourth, with Reason’s follow-up blocked.
